Grace is back after another week of Mets baseball. She recaps the week that has passed, with the highlights and many, many lowlights. She also gets into the concern around both Jeff Mcneil and Pete Alonso's production thus far this season. Who or what is to blame, what's the solution, and what could it mean for the future of the team?

Next, there's a week before the WNBA season begins, and all eyes will be on the league in maybe their biggest season yet. Grace decides to give a primer on all the teams. The good the bad, the ugly, who to root for if you're not rooting for the Liberty (though Grace DEFINITELY thinks you should be rooting for the Liberty).

Finally, another two-pronged movie minute. A classic movie from the thick of the Hollywood Blacklist of the 1950s, and a book about the making of said movie and the climate of the industry during the time.
